On Free Description Logics with Definite Descriptions [PDF]
Definite descriptions are phrases of the form ‘the x such that φ’, used to refer to single entities in a context. They are often more meaningful to users than individual names alone, in particular when modelling or querying data over ontologies. We investigate free description logics with both individual names and definite descriptions as terms of the ...

Description logic programs [PDF]
We show how to interoperate, semantically and inferentially, between the leading Semantic Web approaches to rules (RuleML Logic Programs) and ontologies (OWL/DAML+OIL Description Logic) via analyzing their expressive intersection. To do so, we define a new intermediate knowledge representation (KR) contained within this intersection: Description Logic ...

This article provides a self-contained first introduction to description logics (DLs). The main concepts and features are explained with examples before the syntax and semantics of the DL SROIQ are defined in detail. Additional sections review lightweight DL languages, discuss the relationship to the Web Ontology Language (OWL), and give pointers to ...

An Occurrence Description Logic [PDF]
Description Logics (DLs) are a family of well-known terminological knowledge representation formalisms in modern semantics-based systems. This research focuses on analysing how our developed Occurrence Logic (OccL) can conceptually and logically support the development of a description logic. OccL is integrated into the alternative

Probabilistic description logic programs [PDF]
AbstractTowards sophisticated representation and reasoning techniques that allow for probabilistic uncertainty in the Rules, Logic, and Proof layers of the Semantic Web, we present probabilistic description logic programs (or pdl-programs), which are a combination of description logic programs (or dl-programs) under the answer set semantics and the ...

SHACL: A Description Logic in Disguise [PDF]
SHACL is a W3C-proposed language for expressing structural constraints on RDF graphs. In recent years, SHACL's popularity has risen quickly. This rise in popularity comes with questions related to its place in the semantic web, particularly about its relation to OWL (the de facto standard for expressing ontological information on the web) and ...

Reconciling description logics and rules [PDF]
Description logics (DLs) and rules are formalisms that emphasize different aspects of knowledge representation: whereas DLs are focused on specifying and reasoning about conceptual knowledge, rules are focused on nonmonotonic inference. Many applications, however, require features of both DLs and rules.

A Description Logic for Analogical Reasoning [PDF]
Ontologies formalise how the concepts from a given domain are interrelated. Despite their clear potential as a backbone for explainable AI, existing ontologies tend to be highly incomplete, which acts as a significant barrier to their more widespread adoption.

A Description Logic Framework for Commonsense Conceptual Combination Integrating Typicality, Probabilities and Cognitive Heuristics [PDF]
We propose a nonmonotonic Description Logic of typicality able to account for the phenomenon of concept combination of prototypical concepts. The proposed logic relies on the logic of typicality ALC TR, whose semantics is based on the notion of rational ...
